Based on the answers supplied in the matrix above, explain why it is necessary to reflect
before the execution of a corresponding action?(5-10 sentences)
It is necessary to reflect because it is an important cognitive process that encourages better
decision-making, emotional control, alignment with values, and personal development is
reflecting before acting. It enables people to approach their actions with more mindfulness
and intention, which eventually produces better results and fosters greater understanding
of both oneself and the environment in which one lives. It also tells us to be happy with it
and don’t regret decisions on what we have chosen or decided.
